Whether innocent transitory possession is an affirmative defense to illegal possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)

question presented—over which there is a persistent and openly recognized split among the federal circuits—is whether innocent transitory possession is an affirmative defense to illegal possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C. 922(g). The second question presented—which arises only if the Court denies review of the first question— is whether the Court should hold this case pending decisions on the merits in United States v. Gary, No. 20444 (cert. granted Jan. 8, 2021) and Greer v. United States, No. 19-8709 (cert. granted Jan. 8, 2021).
